"Five days." Gongsun Chan was silent when he heard this, he had seen Liu Yu patting his chest and talking about the abundance of food, he didn't expect that he would suddenly encounter this fatal problem, what could he do in five days, and then thought of the desperate war that was going on in the city now, Gongsun Chan began to despair.

Such an era is not the era of developed transportation in later generations, automobiles, trains and planes are everywhere, and the fastest is only the war horse, but the war horse is an animal after all, with its limits, not to mention that even if it is a war horse, if you want to gallop fast, it can only be achieved on the official road, but now Jixian County is trapped in the lonely city, and the official road is in the hands of Yuan Shao's army, unless he has the peerless power to break through Yuan Shao's heavy army one by one, and even if he can break through the encirclement, The time it will take will not be less, and it will also be a dead end for Gongsun Zhan, who only has five days of food in his opponent.

Although Dong Zhuo knew a lot about the situation in Youzhou, he didn't know the details of Jixian County, and he couldn't imagine it anyway, the east wind he was waiting for was rapidly beginning to take shape, and it would happen soon, but this had little impact on his actions, and the decision was made, and a group of troops began to pour into Bingzhou along the newly opened passage from Huzhou, and quickly went straight to Shangdang and Yanmen counties.

In Jixian County, after the soldiers were forced to rob most of the grain that Liu Yu distributed in the hands of the people in the city, Gongsun Zhan began to quietly prepare to take the army out of the city to break through, and the elite in the city was called up to the city to fight and died in the war in order to help Liu Yu resist Yuan Shao's attack, but some old and weak women and children did not dare to resist at all, but even so, at this time it has been a long time since Liu Yu distributed the grain, even if there is not much surplus food in the hands of the people, the people in the city have a large population, Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zhan's army was supported until mid-July.

More than ten days, for Gongsun Chan is like a long reincarnation, every day in the war struggling to wait for the end, but unfortunately Yuan Shao has made up his mind to take the city at any cost, every day in addition to fighting is fighting, only when he is tired can not stand it, Gongsun Chan can have time to lie down and rest for a while, such a tragic war, the army in the city began to shrink rapidly, from the original 80,000 soon fell to 30,000, during this time was recruited in the city of the strong except for a few remains, Almost died at the head of the city, and the army that was originally subordinate to Liu Yu was almost killed and wounded.

Gongsun Chan is uncomfortable, Yuan Shao outside the city is also about the same, because of Gongsun Chan's desperate defense, they are crazy many times even if they die, they have to pull a cushion, the blood on the city is like a trickling stream, the city is like a mountain of corpses, 60,000 people died in battle, 30,000 people were disabled, nearly 100,000 troops were consumed, even if Yuan Shao was rich, the offensive of the army could not help but show a thick fatigue, under the scorching heat, many corpses were even rotten and could not see clearly, and the disgusting breath was diffused from here to the surrounding area, Although the epidemic has not yet appeared, it is only a matter of time.

In fact, the epidemic has already begun to happen, but Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan are busy fighting to the death, Liu Yu is desperate to lock himself in the mansion and do not appear at all, no one notices at all, in Jixian County, after Gongsun Chan snatched a lot of food from the hands of the people, more and more people began to be starved to death, and more people fell down because of the lack of food and weak people, many people closed their eyes forever under the invasion of disease in the wail, and the dead were scattered everywhere, the entire Jixian County, It became a hell on earth.

"Success or failure is in one fell swoop, everyone, now the back road has been cut off, the food is also cut off, and it is difficult to escape death if you stay, I know that everyone is already very tired during this period of battle, we are tired, Yuan Shao and they will never be happy, I mean that at this time the killing will go out, everyone will work together to kill a bloody road." In the attic at the head of the city, Gongsun Zhan's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and at this time, not only the generals under his command stayed here, but also the generals on Liu Yu's side were also gathered here, as well as the three Liu Bei brothers who had been staying here "in peace".

"General Gongsun, as far as I know, Yuyang has been lost, and now there is no city in Jixian County that is still in our hands, even if everyone fights out of the encirclement, facing Yuan Shao's thousands of troops chasing and encircling and suppressing, where can we flee." As a person of "duty", Liu Bei naturally would not speak at this time, and the soldiers under the command of Gongsun Chan naturally took Gongsun Chan as the first to look forward, and Liu Yu's general Xian Yufu had to ask out loud when he saw it.

At this time, due to Yuan Shao's sudden mobilization, Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan only had some old contradictions, and no one else knew what happened in Liu Yu's mansion before, it was because of Gongsun Chan, Liu Yu's subordinates did not have much hatred, not to mention that Xian Yufu, who had been fighting in the city, also knew what the current situation was, and had no doubts about Gongsun Zhan's words.

Speaking of which, Liu Yu's subordinates are not without capable people, Qi Zhou, Wei You, Tian Chou, etc. are also outstanding people for a while, especially Tian Chou, whose talent is also the top person who can be counted in the same period in the entire Youzhou, but it is a pity that in today's Jixian City, several people are not in the city at all because of this or that, and Xian Yufu and others, who are military generals, do not have enough vision at all, so that the soldiers under Liu Yu's command are almost dead, and Xian Yufu is not even wary of Gongsun Zhan.

"Although Yuyang is lost, but my unsuccessful son is still fighting against Yuan Tan with his soldiers, just like we are here now, although Yuan Shao has sent a lot of troops to attack other places, the main force is still under Jixian County, I believe that Yuan Tan must be like this, and his army must gather in Youzhou further north and east, but we have completely blocked the news here, I don't know where they are fighting now, it is not possible to break through in the direction of Liaodong, we will go to the grassland." After Gongsun Chan explained, he immediately said loudly and categorically.

"Prairie." With a scream, Xian Yufu was stunned immediately, but soon he understood Gongsun Zhan's intentions, but he still reminded him loudly: "General Gongsun, my lord has always appeased Xianbei with a gentle strategy, but the general can be said to be a blood feud between you and Xianbei, and there is no problem when we go, is it ...... the general to go" The following words, Xian Yufu did not finish, but the meaning was obvious.

In fact, as soon as Gongsun Zhan's idea was spoken, Xian Yufu was happy, different from others, because of Liu Yu's policy all along, the relationship between these Liu Yu's subordinates and the Xianbei people was not only not tense, but they had a good relationship with many of the Xianbei people, if they could escape into the grassland, they would really be able to escape, unlike in history, Yuan Shao at this time was powerful, and he didn't have much influence in Xianbei at the moment.

"Yes, it's the grassland, although there will be Yuan Tan's soldiers in Yuyang County, but as long as they don't touch the main force of their army, those people who stay behind can't stop the iron hooves of our war horses at all, and they can't break through directly to Liaodong, just to avoid the main force of Yuan Tan's army, and then we can use the grassland to bypass and run to Liaodong, Yuan Shao's strength is great, but it is impossible for him to capture the entire Youzhou in a short period of time, Liaodong is our last chance to make a comeback, we must rush to it as soon as possible."

To several generals on Liu Yu's side, Gongsun Zhan has always maintained a trace of politeness, he knows what kind of virtue he is, as far as he slaughtered the Xianbei people before, I am afraid that he has already been blacklisted by the Xianbei people, and if he wants to save his life on the grassland, these subordinates of Liu Yu are an indispensable link.

"Okay, when the general is going to do it, I'll go and report to my lord." Seeing that Gongsun Zan had made up his mind, Xian Yufu didn't say anything more, the most important thing for them at the moment was to be able to break through, as for whether to go to Liaodong after escaping to the grassland, that was something that Liu Yu had to decide.

"Tonight." After pondering for a moment, Gongsun Chan seemed to be thinking about whether he should say the specific time, and then said aloud.

"In such a hurry." With a raised brow, Xian Yufu couldn't help but ask.

"In a hurry." With a disdainful smile in his heart, Gongsun Chan naturally wouldn't tell him that he had been preparing for a long time, and he wouldn't tell him that he hadn't actually thought about taking Liu Yu out of Jixian County alive, let alone telling him that he was talking about it at this time, just thinking about finding someone who could speak among the Xianbei people.

Soon, Xian Yufu strode away, and the generals on Liu Yu's side immediately followed when they saw it, and there were only Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei and the generals under their command in the room, and their eyes wandered, and Gongsun Chan suddenly spoke again: "Brother Xuande, if you want to help these two brothers around Brother Xian, there must be no problem to break through Yuan Shao's blockade, and now there is a crisis, Jixian County is no longer a place to stay, and Xuande has other places to go." ”

"Nature." Liu Bei nodded his head and responded directly without the slightest hesitation: "Because Bei was seized by the eunuchs, it is thanks to the generosity of Brother Bo Jue that he was able to settle a place with his brother. ”

"Good brother." Striding forward, Gongsun Zhan grabbed Liu Bei's hand, and for a while he choked up there, unable to speak for a long time.

For the ability of these two sworn brothers under Liu Bei, Gongsun Chan has long clearly understood in his heart that although Yuan Shao's army outside the city has begun to get tired, these people in his hands are the same, if he wants to break through as soon as possible, the force of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is in Gongsun Zhan's calculation, and Liu Bei's decision without the slightest hesitation suddenly knocked on the softest place in his heart.
